Where Should We Begin? with Esther Perel
5.0/5
Critic Rating
Listen to the incomparable therapist Esther Perel counsel real couples as they reveal the most intimate, personal, and complicated details of the conflicts that have brought them to her door. This season Esther speaks to a constellation of new relationships: A couple wrestling with the guilt they feel over the happiness their infidelity created. Another trying to make space for their queerness in an outwardly appearing hetero relationship. A set of friends trying to sort out if their childhood friendship needs to continue into adulthood. And Esther checks back in with couples from seasons past to see where they are...

Ammar Kalia • The Guardian • Jul 28, 2022
"...features a real therapy session with a couple each week, allowing often messy self-realisations to inform listeners’ reflections on our own lives. Although it can be heavy, listening to Perel is like witnessing an artist at work."

John Phipps • The Spectator • Sep 11, 2021
"It is a thing of savage beauty. Perel herself is a merciless genius, not cruel, but all too aware that we perpetuate large-scale sadness by sparing the feelings of a moment."

"Whether you are single or in a relationship, you'll relate to, learn from, and cry with these couples. 10/10 would recommend."
